They could sign him back in the off-season.  Give them a pick to borrow him for a few months.

He has real value if someone traded for him and Sixers only have this year's pick to trade

Olynyk would be a nice fit too, probably better because he can give you minutes as the back up 5 plus he could play at the 4 next to Embiid because of his shooting.

i can't stand him & his ponytail...but yeah, he would be a good fit.    i also wish reed & bassey got more minutes to help get them ready for potential playoff minutes. 

I can get on board with this. I'd rather do this and add picks than include Thybulle. 

Can we all agree to just use this thread today? Can someone lock the other thread?

I think the only issue is that once we sign him in the offseason, a tampering investigation will start.

And if Morey doesnt negotiate a somewhat fair trade, a tampering negotiation will start.

Thats the Nets leverage. Sort of blackmail- we will trade him but it has to be decent value. If you dont want to give anything up, or just sign him in the summer we have all this evidence of tampering.

 

And, yes Morey is patient. But he is also a fool. Ben created a sort of mess, but Morey has exacerbate it x10.

and the thing is we dont know if harden is going to come here in fa, he could go to the bucks or clippers, it's like this moron doesnt even understand that free agency guarantees nothing especially everyone thought we were going to get LBJ and he went to the lakers. if he gets traded here, we win a championship, he will most likely sign here, we lost in the first round, harden sees this and says i dont want to go here.

some general nba info....but it does mention olynyk.

• Miami Heat possibly looking to flip a 1st with Duncan Robinson for an upgrade

• Blazers are negotiating a deal for Jerami Grant

• Raptors are entertaining discussions for Goran Dragic - Mavs and Hawks interested

• Dwight Powell is available from Mavs - Brunson and Finney Smith are not

• Hardaway Jr for Dinwiddie was discussed but shelved

• Grant Williams has been made available alongside Dennis Schroder - Bucks VERY interested

• Robin Lopez and Terrence Ross both worth a 1st to Magic

• Everyone bar Kyle Kuzma is available in Washington

• Kelly Olynyk and Cory Joseph are available in Detroit

• Utah and Atlanta look like they will stand pat now

Of course Vikas is the voice of reason.

nurk is a legit, starting caliber center on an expiring deal...idk if portland would want to move him. 

They probably view him as a usable long term piece in their rebuild with Lillard.

But.... I guess you never know. They gave away other useful players too. Of course his expiring contract will hold value. But if we are offering expiring contracts in return it may not take too much more in pick compensation.

Agreed.

well now i gotta unlock it.      

Everyone but Kuzma?  Assuming that is really Beal and Kuzma off limits, they still have a few players that would be useful if Morey decides to wait until the offseason to go after Harden but wants to make some smaller additions in the meantime.  No idea what anybody's contracts look like though, except Bertans', which is too big to take on.

The first tweet makes no sense.  They have no leverage.  They either take the deal we want for Harden, or they end up with nothing in off season.  Sixers have all the leverage.  We are not giving away everything for Harden when we can get him for free in offseason.

but they probably believe they have a great shot at winning the championship this season if their big 3 are all healthy for the playoffs. and maybe harden will re-sign with them if they do win it.

And if they wait until the offseason and Harden decides he wants to go somewhere else in free agency instead of Philly?

I dont see how we dont offer a 1st to the Magic for Ross and put Green's arse on the bench or ship him in that deal.

 the only leverage the nets have is that they believe they can win a title once Durant returns with harden and kyrie this season. so they believe they don’t make a trade unless they are blown away by an offer and willing to take nothing in the offseason for harden if he walks. Frankly i think that’s foolish now if harden is putting out there he wants out and to Philadelphia. Get the feeling he’ll just pull what he did in Houston if unhappy. The fact Durant liked that post saying that speaks volumes cause I’m guessing he’s told Durant similar or Durant has heard similar. 

in the offseason the leverage is completely on the sixers side. It’s why i think the sixers aren’t willing to overpay at the moment to get harden knowing this offseason the cost drops significantly to what the nets are asking.

Tbh i think at this point harden wants to reunite with morey. Listening to some podcasts from national reporters over the past 2 weeks that seems to be what they are hearing.

i know like why is everyone assuming he's going to sign here for free if we get embarrassed and knocked out in the first round, he wouldnt want to come here.

Doesn’t take much to have a change of heart before then. These dudes recruit each other constantly. Always the chance of some superstar getting in Harden’s ear and convincing him to join him somewhere.
